The parties involved knew that there would be a push-back from the community...they Knew the noise would be unreasonable and even threatening by some. Both Bethesda and Valve had reiterated their commitment and had "Doubled Down" on their intent to see this model through..only to drop it when a FAR more potent and injurious threat became apparent; Bethesda/Valve was not only infringing on copyright rights ...they were tacitly encouraging it.

 

The claim that the community convinced the Corporate Robber-Barons that they were not in charge is IDIOCY. As well, the belief that the Community effort took food from the mouths of Innocent babes.. is a failed logic. Many if not most are completely aware of the DMCA issue...but somehow believe that until it is confirmed, they'll continue to engage less plausible beliefs and opinions.

 

It's time to end the continued assault to deceased equine.

 

Edit; But of course you won't...I wonder if there are some continuing for a purpose...or is their life so empty?

I don't need to have good PR with people who think they deserve everything for free. That's a pretty crappy customer base to build.

I'm moving on to another mod community. This one will be dead fairly soon. Be well all. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Yeah tend to agree, I think TB/Dark0ne/Brumbek say it best here:


If you're just downloading and not contributing, not a forum user, not even hitting the endorse button - then who cares what your opinion is? It's only going to be the usual kinds of self-serving entitled crap that we see everywhere else on the net.

Its all about getting good authors to keep updating and adding content. I wonder if a two tier system would be better for Skyrim/Fallout type MODs.
From a consumer stand point, I may pay $.50 to $2.00 for a simple, read, non-scripted, basic texture, or armor/weapon, house MOD. Depending on the size, the content it provided, and that it only needs vanilla Skyrim.
A subscription model would work only for scripted, game play, and complex type MODs that really go bananas, like, oh, Vilja in Skyrim, where the author is still adding content. I love that MOD.

I'm afraid that while I understand your actions, they are a bit extreme for my taste. The us versus them mentality comes from users of all sides, and I believe we do no one favors for "scorching the earth." In the case of SMIM and SkyUI for instancw, it is worth noting that Brumbek and Schlangster respectfully are trying to make amends with the community- Brumbek is re-releasing his mod and left said apology on the mod description page, and Schlangster of SkyUI has stated that he "is not a sore loser" and will release SkyUI 5.0 here after the next SKSE update.

Certainly they were in error earlier in the conflict, but does it not mean anything that they're trying to work with us instead of casting us off, like others already have? And what so we gain from spitting upon their apologies like that?

It is everyone's own decision and right to make their mods compatible with theirs or not, but I don't think we will really fix our community until we can forgive those who ask for forgiveness. And I may suffer from foot in mouth somewhere down the line but, come on man. The only ones holding back the Nexus' growth is us. Few things are inevitable if people are just willing to try.

You are right. I was thinking that before I posted my... comment. In a way, this is my only time I will get my thoughts in a post, my 2 cents. I was being very careful not to sound like I am bickering, but rather communicate from a "consumer" perspective that is not being addressed. I just asked myself a question: what value do I expect when I pay for a MOD.
